BHS Announcement:
Here are some changes coming for this school year.
Registration is OPEN!
In person and online registration is now open for the 2025-26 school year. In person registration is at Burlington High School for all buildings, 8AM-3PM Monday and Tuesday. All parents/guardians will need to complete the process for each student in your household. We have added the additional enhancements to make online registration as easy as possible:
The District has partnered with Docusign to bring parents and guardians the ability to sign online. No more huge packets of paper to sign, just log into Alma and you can sign off on all forms to re-enroll your student.
• Log into the Parent Portal in Alma: https://www.burlingtonk12.org/page/alma
• Be sure to fill out the LINQ free and reduced questions
• Click on the Docusign link and be done in 5 minutes or less!
• For the best experience we recommend using a computer or tablet; a phone screen may prove too small to see some details.
You will also be able to pay class fees online! We’re using the industry standard Stripe to handle online payments. Rest assured, you can still pay fees in person via check if you want.
• Log into the Parent Portal in Alma: https://www.burlingtonk12.org/page/alma
• View any invoice and pay with any credit card.
In person registration is at Burlington High School for all buildings. We will have staff present to help out along the way as well as Chromebooks if you would rather use those. Thank you for your patience as we roll these features out and we look forward to another great year for all our Cougars!
